CRANE SAD TO BE LEAVING
CHIEF EXECUTIVE Simon Crane is leaving Loftus Road Plc this week to take up a new post. Simon has enjoyed his two years with the company and looks back on his involvement with fond affection.
He says: "I was offered a job by Jaguar Racing - the Formula One arm of the Ford Motor Company - about two months ago. So I went to see Chris Wright and had a conversation with him, and I've decided to take up that opportunity in terms of my own career development. But I'm very sad to be leaving Loftus Road.
"Business highlights have obviously been the sale of the Wasps ground at Sudbury, and just reconfiguring the way Loftus Road PLC behaves in terms of its customer and fan relationships.
"The sporting highlights clearly for me were the highs and lows of avoiding relegation and that wonderful game against Crystal Palace last year, Wasps winning two Tetley Bitter Cups and of course the marvellous work that Gerry has been doing with all his staff in turning around the fortunes of Queens Park Rangers.
"I feel very strongly that we have made a lot of difference over the last two years in terms of halting the downward decline. We've established a really good base to build on. So I wish my successor David Davies, who starts on Monday, a tremendous amount of luck in taking the club forward."
